REOPENING SAFELY COVID-19 UPDATES LOCAL BUSINESSES EVENTS
Phase 2 of easing COVID-19 restrictions initially began on May 22, 2020 at 5:00 p.m and as of August 5, is extended again until September 11, 2020 as schools reopen and students and teachers return to the classroom. This phase allows the Stay at Home order to be lifted as NC transitions to a Safer at Home recommendation, especially for vulnerable populations. During this phase, indoor gathering limits are 10 people, outdoor gathering limits are 25 people, restaurants, salons, and pools are allowed to operate at 50% capacity with other safety requirements. Bars, nightclubs, museums, playgrounds, gyms, fitness studios, and indoor entertainment venues must remain closed.
Past Elizabeth City COVID-19 updates can be found in our COVID-19 News Updates.
